Amazing Fantasy #4

The penultimate chapter of this five-issue Marvel anthology series arrives with a striking cover by Kaare Andrews: a pale, wild-haired figure in partial armor rides a monstrous black steed — spiked and glowing-eyed — while gripping a spear and bearing a battered Captain America shield against a sky blazing with smoke and fire. It's a haunting, post-apocalyptic image that perfectly captures the tagline's promise of "a world with no heroes and no escape," featuring Captain America, Spider-Man, Black Widow, and more. Andrews pulls triple duty as writer, artist, and inker, with Brian Reber's rich colors giving the whole thing a brooding, painted weight that pulls you straight into issue four.
